  • Making Room

    ©IBKimage2017 Happy New Year 2019 My purpose with this blog and in general is to offer insight and encouragement in life’s transitions. To do that this time I’m remembering a time that I was a professional organizer When I started I helped people organize their offices, houses, garages … by helping them to set up…

  • Revisiting Part 2

    Last month when I shared about revisiting as a part of transition, I sensed from my own experience that there was a summary, a wrapping up of a time of specific actions leading to a new now “revisited” place … a launching place for a new season. Instead it seems it was more of a…

  • Revisiting

    Tomorrow is September 1st and the beginning of a season of new work. I’ve taken six weeks to revisit most aspects of my personal and creative life and how that might look in the coming year.  More specifically I’ve been asking myself a lot of questions and taking the necessary time to discover (or discard)…

  • Distortion and Delight

    ©2018 IBKimage It’s so easy to allow the distortions of reality to become the reality that we often proceed from … whether in major transitions or the familiar repeated patterns of our daily habits. External and internal conditions can draw us to false conclusions. Years ago someone told me a story about a fear of…

  • Thinking in Threes

    Dear Readers, It’s March 1st and I’ve been hibernating a bit and it does look like I’m springing forward to summer when this image was made at Crested Butte, CO – a year after I moved to Denver CO from the flatland of Nebraska. Bu it’s really an image I chose to illustrate something I’ve…

  • Something Old is New Again

    We often press forward,crossing items off of the proverbial “bucket list”, reaching for the next level in our fitness, clearing out those numerous e-mails before we leave our desk, learning how to use a new tool, and so on. In our culture what’s new is constant new offerings every day. And yet, it’s also wonderful…

  • New Beginnings

                    Dear Readers: I left you here in the conservatory at the Denver Botanic Garden when I posted a blog on July 31,2015. In that last blog I said:  “Having recently experienced several non routine events in some areas of my life, I’d like to offer an insight.…

  • Your Turn

    Mobiles hanging in a space always draw me in to watch how light plays with movement.   Today I thought it would be fun to reverse roles.  I’m supplying the image, and I ask you dear readers to supply the words. What thoughts about transition come to mind for you as you reflect on this image?…

  • Time Well Wasted

                            Recently, I had the privilege to hear “someone’s heart” about some major decisions regarding a hoped for direction in a relationship and a desire to engage in more frequent work or perhaps a career change. After several interactions and some movement forward, I received…

  • Balls in the Air … Balls on the Ground

                          We continue to be in transition as our house is still on the market in one location and we’re almost finished with a remodeling project in another one 500 miles away. On a recent walk with an old friend in the new location I was…
